More than enough for a draw against a poor team with players out. What about the rest of them?

Preston are not a poor team , anybody with eyes can see that .

And I don't think we've been poor in every game this season , we were poor in maybe 3 games ?

Stoke - Bristol - Leeds?

Should have got results in every other game

Why should we? We were shit against Swansea, Sheffield Wednesday wanted to win more than us and went for it.

We played well against Watford until their keeper faked an injury and they changed shape and we had no idea what to do then.

We weren't shit against Swansea, they had the ball sure but we created far more chances , Watford we had a slow spell after the break and finished the game strong .

Sheffield wednesday we were much the better side second half

You're making things up , you're making out players aren't trying but they are

You're making things up

I'm really not making things up.

We were awful against Swansea and they had the freedom of our right hand side and robins did fuck all about it.

Sheffeld Wednesday wanted to win the game more, they gambled on it with their changes and they won.

It's delusional to think we are playing well.

 

[Nick]

The best EFL manager?

As I said, it's delusional.

Awful against Swansea had 20 shots to their 11 , awful against Sheffield wednesday had 12 shots and 70% possession second half .

Awful against preston but had the ball in the net and missed 2 gully edged chances


Just an awful side

He's been one of in the last decade for sure ,ignore all the sitters being missed though

Lost all 3, trying to manipulate statistics to cover it up says nothing.

Sheffield Wednesday we had both midfielders on bookings, Sheaf was blowing out of his arse and Robins did fuck all about it.

At least if we get relegated we can cheer those good times when we had more possession or when we had 20 shots against Swansea but lost.

I dunno- there’s evidently going to be bias involved, but he’s in the conversation. He’s gone from L2 to the Championship and an FA Cup semi, much of it with all the shit going on in the background. His stats have to put him up there I’d say.

Why does it offend you so much when anyone says anything positive about him?

And I’ll head your inevitable retort off- no I’m not saying we’re playing amazingly and no I’m not saying that Robins is blameless.

Bring a new manager in , the players still have to take the chances nick ?

The chances are being made nick ?

Argue against the stats nick ?

 

[Evo1883]

Everything points to us being quite unlucky really and in a false position

It isn't offending me? Why do you continue to just chat shit. It's weird.

You are on every thread calling people liars while you talk out of your arse continually.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Nobody is deep in trouble after 10 games , there are 108 points to play for , it's sensationalist nonsense

Ok - I hope you’re right

First paragraph completely agree with

however, this season I feel tactically he hasn’t really any idea and teams are just bossing us week after week

what’s our style of play?

Teams aren't bossing us every week ffs

If we Lose Tuesday probably bottom of the league, really deep trouble

How can we turn it around with 35 games remaining

Yeah look at the stats, our manager was a striker as well.

Let's hope we get into the xg playoffs though.

 

[Matt smith]

I’m sorry I thought we were awful against Swansea and Sheffield Wednesday

all huff and puff but no real tactical identity

Sheffield Wednesday looked an organized outfit with a clear strategy and out ball down our right side

how are we implementing a style of play to exploit other team’s weaknesses? We aren’t, robins even said so in his post match presser

that’s your job mark

 

[Evo1883]

Stats matter nick , every team uses them.

If we were losing and near the bottom of that table too , I'd be very concerned

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Everything points to us being quite unlucky really and in a false position

The only game the result didn’t reflect the performance was Watford away. Sheffield played us off the park, losing by one was very flattering.

Sheffield wednesday played well first half , we completely dominated the second half, Swansea we had almost double their chances , preston we should have got a deseved point but the officials fucked us

 

[Matt smith]

Only stat that matters is the score line and we’re losing every week

xg is just bollocks

What clear cut chances did we create in either of those games

yesterday we created a bit more granted

Xg is not bollocks at all

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Can you really not see what those stats show, I mean in big glaring capital letters?

 

[Nick]

Stats matter nick , every team uses them.

If we were losing and near the bottom of that table too , I'd be very concerned

Yeah it looks like we use them when we make predictable, pre planned like for like subs every week.

Maybe if we looked at an issue with having both midfielders on a yellow and one just back from injury and changed one of those we might not have lost against Sheff Weds and we could all be excited over a point against them.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Hard disagree there, we were getting carved open in both halves. Swansea we looked nothing like scoring and gifted embarrassing amounts of territory because neither BTA nor Wright knew what they were doing.

The xG doesn’t lie but a closer look shows a lot of that is the accumulation of low xG efforts on goal. By and large we do not create many clear cut chances. Only games we really did were Oxford and Watford.

 

[Matt smith]

Xg is not bollocks at all

You could argue that it would indicate that we’re not a million miles off etc

but in my opinion, if you’re constantly losing on fine margins you’re definitely going to be in the bottom echelons of this division, which we are

Saying predictable pre plannedsubs just makes no sense at all ..

Not many teams change system every match halfway through ,like I said its FM talk

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Simms is a poor footballer

Yes really disappointing, after last season you'd thought he would in improve but he's gone backwards

 

[Matt smith]

Had 2 weeks training into the Preston game with all 10 outfield players being at Ryton

could you see anything implemented in the game on Saturday?

Are you in the “get rid” or “keep him” side of things? It’s a genuine question by the way, I’ve no idea in amongst all the anger & ranting and I’m interested to know.
